The Bulgarian Football Union will appeal the EUR 40,000 fine imposed on it by UEFA Friday, announced the Union Saturday.
Friday Bulgarian media reported that the UEFA fine has been motivated by racist shoutings by Bulgarian fans during the September 2 Euro 2012 qualifier between Bulgaria and England.
